Capstone Project Planning Report

Chapter 1: Introduction and background of the industry or user

based problem
Plastics are produced from the ol that is commidered as non-renewable resource.
Because plastic has the insolubility.
About 300 years in the nature, it is considered as a sustainable waste and
environmental pollatant sa reusing or cycling of it can be effectual i mitigation of
environmental impacts relating to it It has been proven that the use of plastic bottles as
innovative materials for building can be a proper sodation for replacment of conventional
material. The use of this material has burn coded not only for exterior walls that also for the
ceiling of the building. The objective of this paper is investigate the using of plastic bottles as
manicipal wastes in the buildings, the key and poutive characteristics of this product and the
benefits obtained by using it in building, halso intends to compare the characteristics of
some construction materials such as brick ceramic and concrete block with botde pasel
At the present time, the posibility of utilizing the renewable resources such as solat,
wind, gehermal has been provided for us more than before, and development of this
science is making progress. But those energies can be chosen as me of the renewable and
alternative energies instead of fossil fuels which are cheap as possible and have fewer
environmental impact since no attention to economic issues lead to that the use of these
energies be just for groups dedicated to specific segments of society. Whila mamy
renewable energy projects are large-scale, renewable technologies are also suited to rural
and remote areas, where energy is oden crucial in haman development With population
growth in today's world, the need in the building has increased and to respond to this
demunt the commies tend to use the industrial building materials and decline the use of
indigenous and traditional materials. These factors in squte of incoming the energy
consumption in the industry section they can also raise the cost of homes and are
considered as the barrier le sers to obtain the basic needs of the life. The problem of users is
losing the power and ability of design and building their own homes by themselves. Two
factors that prevent aboriginal people from building their homes are high cost of building
materials and labor and also maybe long transportation.

 One of the solutions for this problem can be using following factore
 Use of affordable recycled materials in building
 Using the method regenerating through proper education to people in the past, the glass
was common in packing some foods such as milk and etc. They could be returned to the
factory for using again for the same purpose. But now by changing the human's disposal
culture, glass bottles have been replaced by plastic bottles, as they have increasingly
become one of the substances of destruction of the landfills because they decompose in a
long time. Two alternative solutions against the plastic boule disposal are recycling and
reusing process.
 Plastic bottles brick
Plastic bottle brick is made by using waste PET empty bottles which is filled with locally
available soil with proper compaction to avoid voids in the bottles.
 Hanging garden
The garden made with plastic bottles over wall & bottles hang with ropes which is used to
sown vegetables crops.
 Chapter 2: Literature Survey for problem identification and
specification

The first bottles house was built using 10000 glass beer bottles by William F. peck
in 1902 in Tonopha, Nevada After that the newer innovative concept has been using plastic
bottle instead of glass bottles in constructing the houses. This innovative idea took to account
for some reasons such as providing a cost-efficient construction method for pauperized third-
world countries, reusing the plastic bottles due to their not indecomposable characteristic, and
etc. The first plastic bottles house Africa was constructed in the village of Yelwa in Nigeria
by Andreas Forese Forese used the plastic bottles instead of bricks, bound the bottles together
with string and at the end applied the plaster.
However nowadays, the concept has spread to countries all over the world. Various
kinds of homes have been built from plastic bottles such as: ecological house constructed
using 8000 bottles in Honduras; an Eco-Tec home in Bolivia constructed using the PET and
wine bottle; a house of waste plastic bottles built in Serbin by Tomislav Radovanie; Taiwan's
plastic bottle building: ecological bottle house built using 1200 PET plastic bottles for the
walls near the Iquazu Falls, Misiones, Argentina; and etcetc.

Chapter 3: Proposed Detailed Methodology of solving the

identified Problem with action plan
 Problems -

Nowadays, large amount of plastic bottles are wasted and disposed every day. People are
thrown away them without considering that what those plastic bottles can have impact on
the humans and/or environment.
We observed that in our environment in 100 sq.m area minimum 10-25 bottles occurs.
This boules creates many problems in our society such it makes crowding armas dirty
then block the drains which promote to flood situations.

 Detailed methodology -
Building construction with plastic bottles are low-cost and eco-friendly. Construction of
plastic bottle walls, roofs and their benefits in buildings is discussed.
Based on the material type the bottle possess they can be used for different types of
construction. For wall infill plastic bottles are used. Once they are constructed, they are
plastered on the exterior. Using glass bottles in buildings will provides light transparency
and structural aesthetic effects.
So, all the recycled bottles irrespective of the material help to reduce the demand for new
material thus reducing the costs.
 Roof Construction with Plastic Bottles
The plastic bottles mainly in its crushed state are used in the construction of roofs. They
are very simple and artistic in nature. They have a good waterproofing property. These
waste bottles can behave as an immediate shelter. As a long-lasting roof performance can
be provided by plastic roofs.
 Bottle Houses Have Good Insulation
The sand used to fill the bottles will bring excellent insulation towards the heat caused. In
houses constructed in Nigeria, this has worked best against the tropical heat. This also
brings a relatively cool environment inside the building. For regions around the world,
where the money is scarce, the house construction can be done by plastic bottles. It just
cost one-third of the cost of the house that is made from concrete and the bricks.

 Vertical Bottle Wall Construction

House that is designed with a bearing frame can have a wall that can be filled with any
materials. These materials can be a waste, sand etc. Then it can be plastered over top.
Collecting plastic bottles to make wall infill will help in improving the surrounding
environment that in turn creates inexpensive building materials.
 Bottles that are placed right side up within a frame will make a vertical bottle wall. The
bottles that are lying on their side will form the horizontal bottle wall.
The method involves the initial construction of the build structural frame. Later the
bottles are collected and filled with infill materials. The bottles are then used to fill the
cavities in the wall.
To hold the bottle together for better structural integrity an overall frame with the help of
steel wires can be used. In the bottle gaps, loose bottles are inserted. To get a clean finish,
plastering is carried out.

 Horizontal Bottle Wall Construction

Similar to vertical wall construction, the bottles can be laid horizontally in courses in
between the structure. Once the frame for the building is constructed, the bottles are laid
horizontally by using mortar in between and for the finish.
Chicken wire can be used to keep it enclosed. Pieces of rebar will help this to be cast to
the frame that is constructed. To tie the steel wires, nails or screws can also be used.
The below figure shows the use of infill bottles to replace solid concrete. This reduces the
amount of concrete.
